Behavioural Scientist, Habit Lab — Build the science behind why people come back every day. London or remote (EU / US East Coast).

A live consumer app with a feed of playable games, backed by funding and built by a small team. The London team is being built now, and this is a chance to set up the function from scratch.

You will map what behavioural science and neuroscience know about reward, habit and social validation onto the product, then test those ideas on real users.

What You'll Do

→ Turn research on reward, habit and social behaviour into testable hypotheses

→ Run studies, playtests, interviews and live experiments on real users

→ Hand the loops that work to the product team to build

→ Own D30 retention and sessions per day, and grow a small team over time

What We're Looking For

→ You have shaped an engagement loop or habit in a live consumer app or game that clearly moved retention or daily opens

→ You have personally run user research and turned findings into experiments that shipped

→ PhD or equivalent depth in neuroscience, psychology or behavioural science, applied to products

→ You design experiments a small team can run in days or weeks, and explain science in plain words

Bonus: lab or biometric methods, social or creator platforms, or experience leading a research team.
